SILICON VALLEY, Calif., Nov. 18, 2009 (AScribe Newswire) — The 75-year mystery of the precise nature of dark matter of the universe has been solved by Bell Labs-trained scientist Jerome Drexler. It took him seven years of intensive cosmological research to discover and then confirm the identity of dark matter by means of a series of 18 cosmological tests briefly described here.

Every dark matter candidate must be subjected to a series of qualifying astronomical-based cosmological tests to be given serious consideration as the dark matter of the universe. Since Drexler’s November 2009 paperback book, “Our Universe via Drexler Dark Matter” focuses on 18 principal cosmic constituents or cosmic phenomena in order to define our universe, they will be used here to perform 18 cosmological tests of dark matter candidates as follows:

In order for the relativistic-proton dark matter (also called relativistic-baryon dark matter) candidate to qualify for the title of “the dark matter of the universe” its discoverer, Drexler, believes that it must clearly be compatible with the vast majority of these 18 principal cosmic constituents or cosmic phenomena. Drexler dark matter has that compatibility as described in the book. Those interested in cosmology or in understanding the nature and functions of dark matter might want to read the book. Others can visit the recently updated Web site, “Discovering Dark Matter Cosmology” at http://www.jeromedrexler.org/ .

1. The accelerating expansion of the universe (see Chapters 9, 15, 19, 21, F).
2. Dark Energy (see Chapters 9, 15,19, 21, F).
3. A dark matter that can exist as spheroidal halos around spiral disk galaxies and also in the form of long large slightly curved filaments that form the Cosmic Web (see Chapters 1, 2, 3, 10, 15, 16, 17, 18, B, C, D, E, J).
4. 4. Source of energy of UHE cosmic-ray protons that bombard Earth’s atmosphere (see Chapters 10, 15, C, G, H).
5. How Cosmic Inflation started then stopped during the big bang epoch (see Chapters 21, H).
6. Why most large galaxies formed without galaxy mergers (see Chapters 6, 11, 14).
7. The causes for the early rapid growth of massive galaxies (see Chapters 6, 11, 14).
8. The causes for the stunted mass growth of galaxy clusters (see Chapters 9, 13, 22).
9. How the first stars formed without availability of hydrogen molecules or dust (see Chapter 20).
10. The basis for the formation of the Lyman Alpha blobs (see Chapter 12).
11. The limitation of the diameter of galaxy superclusters to 430 million light years (see Chapter 10).
12. Top-Down theory, not galaxy mergers, is principal basis for galaxy formation (see Chapters 6, 11, 14, 17, D).
13. Causes of ultraviolet, EUV, or soft X-ray photon emission from dark matter (see Chapters 8, 12, 13, 22, F).
14. NASA discovers loud synchrotron-emission microwave noise. Is it caused by slowed protons? (see Chapters 5, 7).
15. The Cosmic Web structure of filaments of dark matter passing through every galaxy (see Chapters 13, J).
16. The need for muon creation for hydrogen fusion in stars and for Lyman-alpha blobs (see Chapter12, 13, 20).
17. How a relativistic-proton big bang satisfied the Second Law of Thermodynamics (see Chapter C).
18. Relativistic protons orbiting a galaxy’s magnetic field may be evading GZK cosmic-ray cutoff (see Chapter G).

Although discovering and proving the precise nature of the dark matter of the universe is very significant, Drexler’s new book provides a lot more. Each of the 18 cosmic elements also represents a window looking into the cosmologic universe. Further, each of the 18 cosmic elements is compatible with the other 17, making it possible to utilize any group of them without requiring any new assumptions.

After the book is read, it becomes clear that Drexler has developed a unified theory of astrophysical cosmology that encompasses many more cosmic elements than any other cosmology in use today. Also, within his four books, Drexler has solved about two dozen cosmic mysteries making his new cosmology paradigm to a great extent devoid of unsolved cosmic mysteries.

Now we come to the fun part. In almost every chapter, the book provides the date that a research paper was published by another party and the date that the chapter was written by Drexler. Note that the time differential is only days or a few weeks. Serious students of this material should become just as quick at solving new cosmic mysteries as Drexler has been. When students begin to beat Drexler in publishing their solutions to new cosmic mysteries, he will have achieved his goal.

Another fun part of this unified theory of astrophysical cosmology is making accurate or successful predictions based upon new ways of analyzing data and deriving new insights by using a chosen few of the 18 cosmic elements selected for this purpose. Drexler has had his share of successful predictions as reported in some of the book’s chapters. Now it’s his students’ turn to start making predictions.

Drexler has documented his seven years of dark matter/dark energy research, its timeline, its interaction with mainstream cosmology, and the overwhelming evidence that relativistic-proton dark matter represents the principal constituent of the dark matter of the universe in the following seven publications.
